So apparently, their fundamental criticism with C-5 is that it does NOT go far enough in removing environmental considerations – THIS at a time when Climate Change continues to accelerate (where the Arctic is warming at four times the global average, and the rest of Canada at double)? Shades of Trump’s “Big-Beautiful-Bill”, where hard-right GOP members questioning the Bill want even MORE cuts to the Health Care and Food security that make the lives of average Americans bearable ...
and about that now missing ~$1800 per year from the Carbon Tax rebates that formerly made THIS fixed income Senior’s life just a little more bearable. Thanks a lot ... brilliant!
Bigger picture - Stubbs and Viersen ... bigger picture.

While the old adage “An empty vessel makes the most noise,” comes immediately to mind, I still have to ask: “If fundamentally the SAME Party has held majority control of this province for over 50 years – the same Party these folks regularly support, and said Party has resulted in negotiating three of every four Oil&Gas dollars leaving Canada to pad the accounts of foreign shareholders, create a legacy of some ~$300 billion in clean-up costs, a drop in real wages of 10% over the past decade, while leaving citizens with the highest electricity and auto insurance rates, tuition hikes, and drop in living standards of any province in Canada, amidst accelerating dysfunction in Health Care and Education, where is the evidence if left to themselves – WITHOUT backing from the rest of the country, they can do better alone?

According to Charity Intelligence Canada, "Health Partners International of Canada is a 4-star Christian charity with Good demonstrated impact. It has a B- Results Reporting grade, which is below average. For every dollar donated to the charity, 79 cents are available to go to the cause, which is within Ci's reasonable range."

Another UCP loaded Push-Pull “When did you stop beating your wife?” exercise in “decision-based-evidence-making” that rage-induces the base whilst campaigning with the use of public money ... yeah, how could citizens NOT love that!?! Not as though we do not have a host of ACTUAL problems in this province – highest electricity, auto insurance, tuition hikes and drop in living standards of any province in Canada, accelerating Health Care and Education dysfunction, and yes - that growing scandal in need of distraction ...
while Alberta Independent Senator Paula Simons posted that Smith's government was embarking on a "vile hate campaign" when it comes to its proposed immigration measures: "This bitter xenophobia is as un-Albertan as it's possible to be."
And indeed it is.

Given that ~$3 of every $4 from O&G currently goes off-shore to pad the bank accounts of foreign shareholders, there is a ~$300 billion mandated clean-up bill for which there is a negligible inclination to address, and 2024 saw ~$30 billion in subsidies given via tax breaks, loan guarantees, public financing (pipelines, infrastructure, and CCS), while Alberta currently “enjoys” the highest car insurance, electricity rates, family non-mortgage debt, AND Food Bank usage in Canada, PLUS the lowest salary increases over the past five years – a 4.5% drop in actual buying power and now only the third highest wages in the country, AND the worst funded schools in the country amidst a collapsing Health Care system while sitting on the second largest O&G reserves in the world ... do we REALLY want even MORE of the same? Qui bono?
So – current mismanagement aside, while we may create other work, there is NO other planet!
